As the sun sets on Des Moines tonight, the usual oranges, reds and pinks will be accented with blue and yellow on several Des Moines bridges in a show of support for Ukraine.

My friends are in basements, in flight, and under fire. Help.

People can be mad at Manchin all they want, but we knew he would do this months ago.
Where we need answers from are the leaders who promised a path on BBB if BIF passed: Biden & Dem leaders. *They* chose to move BIF alone instead of w/ BBB, not Manchin.
So they need to fix it.

Would the world look closely at Hong Kong's sham election today, and think of the real candidates who were thrown in jail for almost one year now. We must fight back by boycotting it, or cast a blank protest vote. (Beware of arbitrary arrests when retweet)

Though we strobed
That we came in peace,
He was already at war.
We have battled hard to be.
Nothing—
Nothing—
Can keep you safe.
Silence least of all.
Look alive, everyone.
May such a prayer,
A people,
A peace,
A promise,
Be ours.
Be right
& radiant
& real.

I’m one of the people who went to Lafayette Square last June in support of #BLM, & was driven away by riot police with teargas, & flash grenades. I saw the report finding no link between the clearing of the park & the photo op. Initially I was not going to respond...

In Maine, we have no voter ID laws, we have same day registration, we have no-excuse absentee voting, we have mail-in voting, we have early voting, we have 24/7 drop boxes.
And we have virtually no fraud.
Expanding ballot access doesn't encourage fraud; it encourages VOTING.

+500k have died from Covid, +100k are killed or injured by guns annually. There are more than enough issues for state legislatures to focus on.
Banning trans kids from playing sports and getting gender affirming medical care is not one of them.
Trans kids are not a threat

Paid leave is infrastructure.
Child care is infrastructure.
Caregiving is infrastructure.

If you make it a crime to give voters water as they wait in line, you're not pro-democracy.

Vanita Gupta. Deb Haaland. Neera Tanden.
Highly qualified/respected women of color singled out by GOP senators for being outspoken and critical of Trump.
Is anyone else noticing a pattern in the types of nominees Republicans are singling out for criticism?

NAACP said the election bill you signed yesterday "severely cripples the voting process" and "will have an adverse impact on voters of color" in #Iowa.
Rosa Parks helped start one of the largest movements against racial segregation in the US. Her bravery helped pave the way to end segregation and racial inequality in America. #WomensHistoryMonth

Holy crap. I’d have considered voting for this dude way back when if I’d seen this fire on the national stage. I still love Warren more precisely because she BROUGHT that fire when no one else would, and still does.
That said, this is still something. Let’s see more like it!
